Happy Birthday, Breanne Alice!

Breanne had her 4th birthday on May 1st.
Here's a trip down memory lane...

3 days old

3 months old

1 year old

2 years old

3 years old

4 years old

She wanted to be a fairy princess for her birthday and what the birthday girl wants the birthday girl gets. I made her fairy wings out of wire hangers and some knee highs. After much frustration and a sliced thumb later, here they are. I let her paint them. She alsorequested confetti cake with pink frosting. Sorry no pictures of that.
We were lucky enough to have my mom, step dad, sister and baby Sophia come down and spend a few days with them. They spoiled them rotten, no doubt, but the girls had a blast.
While Cameron and I snuck off to Indio, CA Thursday and Friday night for our 5th anniversary

they took the kids to the wild animal park down in San Diego (pictures to come later, I'm sure). Don't worry, those are virgin mimosa's.

I can't believe how fast the years have gone. Bre, you've taught me a lot about being a mom (some good, some bad). I should give you more credit for being the "guinea pig" in this whole motherhood experiment. You're so smart, sometimes too smart for your own good. You always keep me in check. You're full of life and love to laugh. When Christ told us to be as little children I think of you. There are great things in store for you, my love.

Happy Birthday to our big, 4 year old, girl!
